Science fairs have roots that go back to the 1940s, when they were used to encourage talented high school seniors to pursue a career in science or engineering and to expose the public to scientific work. Today, science fairs are still used to nurture an interest in the sciences, but have expanded to include younger students. Through poster displays and oral presentations, young scientists present the results of their hard work in the fields of animal science, behavioral and social science, biochemistry and chemistry, cell and molecular biology, computer science, earth and planetary science, environmental management and science, engineering, mathematics, medicine and health, microbiology, physics and astronomy, and plant science. This stimulates an active interest in science and engineering in young students, provides an unparalleled experience in research and presentations, and exposes the public to the hard work these students are performing. With the 22nd Annual Blue Ridge Highlands Regional Science Fair, we are continuing a long-standing tradition of scientific exploration and promotion. Participants in this fair represent the counties of Bland, Buchanan, Carroll, Dickenson, Giles, Grayson, Lee, Montgomery, Pulaski, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, Wise, Wythe and the cities of Bristol, Galax, and Norton. Students will compete in either the Junior (6th through 8th grades) or Senior (9th through 12th grades) Division. First Place winners in each individual senior category will receive an invitation to participate in the Virginia State Science and Engineering Fair at Virginia Military Institute on April 5 - 6, 2013. Grand Award winners (the top two Senior Division projects) will receive an all-expense-paid trip to the International Science Fair in Phoenix, Arizona on May 12 - 19, 2013. All projects must be submitted for approval prior to exhibition at the fair, with a registration form and abstract, no later than February 22, 2013. ********************************************************************************** Science Fairs Require Money for Awards and Trips.
